My Favorite Mahler Book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mahler: The Man and His Music (Hardcover)
There are many books on Mahler. Why is this one my favorite?
The first half of the book tells, in good detail and with biographical sources, the story of the life of the Late Romantic composer, Gustav Mahler. Lots of books do that, though few do it as well as Egon Gartenberg. For me, the big bonus is the second half of the book, which offers commentary and explanations of each of Mahler's works, in chronological order. Usually, it tells when and where the work was written, and next goes into a description of just what each work deals with. Sometimes the explanations are several pages long. This is just the book to have at hand when you're about to listen to any of Mahler's music. It will help you get more out of the music, and understand even more deeply why Gustav Mahler was such a remarkable man, and why for so many people his music is so meaningful.
